Tips to Slow Down Your MOV Files

Slowing down your MOV files can transform your video content, making it more engaging and easier to follow. Here are some expert tips to help you get the most out of this feature.

Frame Rate: Ensure your original footage has a high frame rate to maintain smoothness when slowed down.
